| Denmark’s interpreation of the meaning of a cabotage
job was first challenged by the European Commission back in 2013. The case has just concluded on 12 April 2018 and
the EU court ruled that Denmark’s interpretation is legitimate. As you will know, under cabotage rules you can carry
out up to 3 cabotage jobs in 7 days within the host member state. Where the Danish interpreation is particular
is that one cabotage job can consist
of multiple loading or unloading, but not both in one job. Ie you can
make multiple loadings to be delivered at one location or one loading to be delivered
at multiple locations; these are counted as one cabotage trip, but multiple
loadings to be delivered at multipe locations will be counted as multiple cabotage jobs. |
